Omnipollo

Nebuchadnezzar Imperial IPA

Not a beer geek myself, but even I know this was extraordinary. While the nose is quite mild, the flavours hits you like a bus. Heavily hopped with a bittersweet balance, and a round almost-oily mouthfeel (only held back by some carbonation). Orange rind, lychee, grass, malt, and caramel comes to mind. Lingers with a little warmth, which gives it a great sense of robustness. Delicious, but perhaps a little too intense for me.

NB: Intensity seems to be a common theme in these Omnipollo brews. These guys sure take things to the extreme. Big fan, but definitely not for the faint-hearted.

Malört Liqueur Malt

A Chicago original. Very bitter and herbal. Reminds me of some of the more bitter and intense aquavit you can find in Sweden only. Quite a bracing shot. Though frankly, nice and cold on the rocks it can make a change if you can handle it. Like others have said it’s not easy to rate as it’s not easy to like as such. But it’s a thing. — 6 years ago

Perfect age. Full body but lacking that acidic bite I associate with Alsace. Still a total joy to have along for a wonderful 7-course chefs menu at Koka in Göteborg Sweden. — 7 years ago

Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

Santa Barbera Chardonnay is really becoming a favourite of mine. The Pinot from SB seems to get all the attention here in Sweden but the Chardonnay is outperforming the Pinot by a mile. Very bright and well balanced. Seashell, pear, honey, hezelnuts, jasmin, tiger balm. — 3 years ago

Being an easily accessible SB in Sweden I must say I enjoy all their wines a lot, but I agree with your assessment on the Chdy.
